The importance of real-time data continues to grow. Companies recognize the value of collecting data in real time, however, they can struggle with who needs it and why. Product managers, sales, and marketing teams often express a need for real-time data, but it’s crucial to understand their actual requirements.
Real-time data goes hand-in-hand with customer-facing analytics, operational visibility, and real-time decisioning and more. When dealing with real-time data, companies need to carefully consider their architecture to avoid creating systems that are either too simple or too complex. It’s all about the right balance of optimal performance and flexibility while avoiding potential bottlenecks or developers can build what they need to without limitations.
